University Of Toronto: York University Professors

Ryerson University Dept: The open letter, which includes signatures from Ryerson University, University of Toronto and York University professors, comes one week after the city signed a contract with locally based Impact Cleaning Services to handle Toronto police buildings, according to The Star. About 250 cleaners working with Toronto Community Housing and the Toronto police service have already been handed pink slips, said representatives from the group, Good Jobs For All and one hundred academics from three Toronto universities have signed a letter asking the Ford administration to stop contracting out cleaning jobs. Nearly 1,000 unionized cleaners have been warned they will probably be laid off as the city seeks out cheaper private companies to do their jobs. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
